New Delhi: Olympics bronze medallist wrestler Sakshi Malik on Saturdayclaimed that she has not yet received the incentives promised to her by the Haryana government after her historic medal at the Rio Games.

"Announcements made by Haryana Government after my OLYMPIC MEDAL win were for MEDIA ONLY ?," she further posted on her twitter handle.

Cash rewards and incentives amounting to at least Rs 3.5 crore were announced by the Haryana government after Sakshi created history at the Rio Games last year by becoming the first woman wrestler from India to win an Olympic medal.

Government of Haryana -- Sakshi's state -- had announced before Olympics Rs 6 crore for gold medallists, Rs 4 crore for silver and Rs 2.5 crore for bronze winners.

The 24-year-old girl from Rohtak had clinched a bronze medal in the 58kg freestyle category.

However, state minister Anil Vij said that the government has given her Rs 2.5 crore in cheque. He further claimed that they had also created a post for the wrestler after she wanted a job in the MD University.
